Non-Stop beeping on start up

MY wife was using it one day and she got a blue screen. I came home and restored the pc to factory settings, did the updates and it ran fine for about 2 days, then it went off. now when I start the computer it beeps and never stops, the beeps are about 2 seconds apart, and now my screen says it cannot find a source. can the video card be bad and causing the beeps?

Pavilions can be either notebook or desktop computers.Apparently yours is the latter.

Award bios versions, or brand name bios versions based on Award bios versions, can produce a continuous beep pattern like you describe.

Quoting from info at mickliq's first link...

Beep codes for Award BIOS Most Award post codes are displayed to screen. If a beep code occurs the problem is likely occurring before the system can display video (check the video card or memory). NOTE: The following codes can vary depending on BIOS version.
